Enterprise: Where are the strange new worlds? (lemmy.world)

I recently finished Enterprise season 3, and oh gods that was a slog at the end. Like 5 plot-heavy episodes in a row! No fun, no whimsy, no exploration. It's the least star-trekky I have ever seen Star Trek. So I finished it, and thought "can we see some strange new worlds now?" And then Archer was taken prisoner by nazis and I was all "oh no, is this going to be season 4?" But that got resolved in two episodes and I was glad. But now there's an augment arc? Please tell me it ends soon so we can get back to the strange new worlds.

I have the same problem with SNW, to a lesser extent. Too much klingon war stuff, not enough strange new worlds. Lower Decks has the perfect amount of strange new worlds, though, they visited a Halo this season! It was perfect.

Imma give up on Enterprise if there's a whole season of augment drama.

It's not just the Klingon stuff, it's all the tragedy and drama. Mostly on La'an and Una's side. Spock is a culprit too, but at least his personal drama leads to shenanigans, which makes him tolerable. La'an and Una are no fun. Uhurua, Ortegas, Hemmer, and the engineer who got no arcs in season 2 are all more fun. Pike is boring but that's okay because he knows how to let everyone else shine.
